Having been alerted to the existence of journalctl I had a look. Maybe because I have syslog still running the messages are only going to the old places, but the man for journalctl implied they would be scraped anyway, but there was little of what I would want to see held by it. I _like_ to use vi and grep to find traces of whatever I was trying to extract from messages. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
